In this episode of Creativity: Uncovered, I speak with my husband Michael Back about play, imagination and giving yourself permission to be creative.
Michael was a really creative kid, but somewhere along the line he felt pressured to become more serious and focus on a “real job”. Next minute he found himself studying business, becoming a Financial Adviser and being dissatisfied with his career. That is, until a book changed his life completely.
In this episode we talk about:
- How and when he decided to reconnect with his creativity
- The book that changed his career
- Growing up as an only child and it’s influenced his creativity
- Humour and creativity
- Being playful as an adult
- Following your curiosity
- How he stopped silencing and started embracing his creativity
- Spirituality influencing creativity
Here are the resources Michael mentioned in our chat:
Happy listening!
